DOMAIN TRANSFER: HOW IT WORKS
Domain purchase agreement
Both the buyer and seller receive a free purchase contract from us, specifically tailored to domains or web projects at no additional charge.
Payment to neutral account
The buyer pays the domain's agreed purchase price by wire transfer, PayPal or credit card into a neutral account provided by Sedo.
Trouble-free domain transfer
Our transfer specialists work with both partners and their web hosting companies or registrars to quickly and safely transfer the domain.
Payment to the seller
The seller is paid as soon as the buyer is registered as the new owner and assumes full control of the domain. It's that simple!
